hey guys, new to riding and loving it! i have an 06 450 with full rossier exhaust. Rejeted the carb, and a new filter with the lid removed, and im looking to get it to sit a little lower and wider.
the wider aspect i get, wider A arms in front, wider axles in the rear.
most people are probably gonna ask what type of riding i do, and i don really know what to say, i seem to go to the badlands in Indiana every Sunday and thats where i do the majority of my riding along with the occasional other times i go to a track with a buddy or something along those lines.
Whenever im at the badlands theres always one or two TRX's that look just mean so heres what im looking to get and i need you guys to point me to the right companies or sites.
2" wider on each side, 2 or 3" lower: front and back. I also would appreciate it if someone could tell me what a good size and set of bead lock wheels for front and rear i can pickup as well as a good set of tires ( size and brand)
thanks guys i appreciate the the help!

when I sent my rear shock to get done by GT thunder it came back with a new link and different spring and valving.
It sat noticeably lower in the rear (about 2") and the ride was much improved. It seemed to handle the corners much better and I would sit naturally a bit farther behind on the seat..... made for a more comfy ride.

We can get you sitting right, site sponsor and are probably very close to you (Greencastle, IN). Depending on price there are few different options you have for lowering ride height, which you are correct, is way hi with preload at minimum setting unless you are 280lb +. Without writing a book with everything we do with 450's, you can checkout the website www.jetsuspension.com and click on QUADS, then HONDA and read about it and see pics.
You may even see us over there every now and then testing.
Okay so for lowering the rear I can get the gt thunder link but how about lowering the front? I would like to get a set of wider a arms but standard travel, how can I make the front sit lower?

By changing the front shock length and spring stack which is part of our kit. Should be done at the same time as the rear since ride height is changed you don't want one end sitting different.
